been playing through the closed beta today, I am really enjoying it, I wont play it anymore as I do not want to get in too far of the story before it actually releases.

edit:
just tested it no my Steam Deck, it is mostly 60fps with some dips to 40fps

That's not necessarily a bad thing, but it doesn't, it seems to be 2.5D which is pretty cool imho.

ugh that dubbing is awful.

Absolutely loved the first one even though I usually despise side-scrollers in modern times, can't wait for the second one to finally release.

By the way, a lot of people are calling a Hundred Heroes a sequel, it is not a sequel to Rising.
Rising was a "companion" title that supposedly served as a prologue to the Hundred Heroes game. They are related, but it was more of a bonus game.

Thank you for the Steam Deck test! Glad to know it will work when I play it.

The DS WISHES it could look like this. Lmao

Regardless, this is clearly an AA title. I'm in the camp that it doesn't matter how "pretty" a game looks if it's an absolute slog to play through. Having some compromise isn't always a bad thing in this case as it was a Kickstarter game and you can't always go all in on graphics.

Sad that physical copies got delayed, but I'll more than likely complete this on PC anyhow.

finally completed Rising story today and 160 side quests to see what would import into the game



nothing changes from just having a save game, you get the bonus content if you finish Rising or not., and the weapons/food names get set during the story.
